Abstract excerpt
Recent studies suggest that diethylhexyl phthalates (DEHP) could contribute to the development of insulin resistance (IR) through oxidative stress, and that heat shock protein (HSP) could be related with the association between DEHP and IR. Therefore, we evaluated the effect modification of genetic polymorphisms of HSP70-hom, an oxidative stress related gene, on the relation between exposure to DEHP and IR. We...
